Can you fax the award, parts of the award or wage rates?
Unfortunately, we cannot fax the award or take excerpts from an award. The award must be read in its entirety to ensure that the information in the award covers your work situation or business.
Wageline has developed award summary sheets for selected Queensland state awards as a quick reference guide for employers and employees. These summary sheets include wage rates and an extract of commonly requested information. Not all awards have a summary sheet and not all conditions of employment provided for in an award are covered in a summary sheet. Summary sheets, where applicable, are included with the award purchased.
